Question 570
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A production volume group needs additional capacity and a new spare PV is ready. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A production volume group needs additional capacity and a new spare PV is ready. Underlying reason: Adding a PV expands the capacity pool without automatically resizing LVs. The most direct, approved resolution is: Add the approved PV to the existing VG with `vgextend` after checking its state. Confirm it by checking: `vgs` shows increased free extents and existing LVs remain available. Sustain the fix by: Track free VG space after each expansion. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
`vgs` shows the new group with the expected total free capacity. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because adding a PV expands the capacity pool without automatically resizing LVs.
The new partition fits in unused space and existing partitions remain unchanged. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because adding a PV expands the capacity pool without automatically resizing LVs.
`mount -a` or the relevant validation reports no missing-volume errors. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because adding a PV expands the capacity pool without automatically resizing LVs.
